Is a House, a Home

I saw a house that only had walls
the sky above it's ceiling
a piece of cloth for a door
bare harden mud for a street
yet there was joy in the air
when a pair, danced as only children do
taking pleasure in the joy of being young


I saw a house of many rooms
manicured lawns and flower beds
stain glass windows to the floors
cobble stone street to the door
yet no joy was there to sing and shout
no dancing pair romping delightedly about
only pale eyed children shut tight indoors

Happiness comes within ourselves.

We are the ones who make happiness
for ourselves as well as others.

Happiness also comes in many forms.

Wonderful write indeed!

Ah, that lonely house on the hill. Seems that us poor folks have only love to sustain us, thereby, it means so very much more. Good poem.
